I spent the day outdoors at a therapy thing, it's like a week long course about nature and mental health and it was great and so on.. They just didn't give us enough food, not like at all. We were supposed to eat by fire and I was told that I don't need to bring anyhting myself, so I didn't. Now I'm home, hungry and tired, just trying to calm down enough so I can eat. Gotta leave earlier tomorrow so I can buy and bring my own food. I did tell the dudes hosting it that it wasn't enough food, but they said it was normal amount and that it's normal to get hungry outdoors.. Well, yeah? The other people answered for me that they're hungry too and it was not enough food, so it wasn't just me. But the nature is pretty, changing colors and all, so it's alright. Just gotta bring my own snacks..
